A self evident fact: "liberty is not what people yearn for"

[Anti Federalist]

"Socialism appeals to human nature and this is because liberty is not what people yearn for. People most yearn to be taken care of. Socialism promises people what human nature wants most… and most humans do not yearn for freedom they yearn to be taken care of."

 

[Swordsmyth]

It varies.

But liberty must be sheltered and guarded to protect it from the swings towards tyranny.

Yes, free stuff is almost invariably more popular than the absence of free stuff.

Stolen stuff may be labeled "free" by the unwitting or unknowing but it is nonetheless stolen.

I think that the younger generation thinks if you are free that means you can go kill your neighbor and take all their stuff and not go to prison for it. So in essence freedom=violence.

The American people haven't cared about liberty for a long time.

Outside of a tiny remnant, no, they haven't.

They have been content to grow fat and stupid, gorging on the carcass of what 200 years or so of liberty built.

Who needs freedom when you have Netflix and Hulu?

... and guess who gets to pay for all this ‘free stuff’?

 

[oyarde]

If these lazy bastards would get off their ass they would realize it is easier to make a decent living when you are free of govt chains .

Rich people? Shrug.

I think Socialism trains people to think they want to be taken care of. The more exposure, the less initiative toward freedom. People become helpless.

It's just that simple. They stop being independent hunters for themselves and become corralled livestock dependent on their owners to feed them.

It's our jobs to reintroduce Liberty. Fifty years of communism teachings in school has put us at this crossroad.

No it's not. It's not our job to care about the future others might have, It's our job to make sure we are not personally inconvenienced between now and the time we are gone. After we are gone who gives a damn what happens...

It's a timeless age old practice called domestication.

Are you kidding? The future of other is our future, too. We can’t continue to ignore the encroachment on Liberty.

I know you were being sarcastic above, but the shame of it all is, some people really do think like that. The DOE has been the globalist weapon against us. Bernie Sanders must be proud--that is why his campaign promises free college for all.
